    Hey Happs - don't you just lurve our blue footed Bridgey. Flower bums indeed.

    I'm not sure what went on in that room - NOT asking that question either. As for the colour of the walls can't say 'cos I never got to see but will ask that one.

    you know, when I stopped drinking I was so bloody excited and proud of myself I didn't event think that it would be weird to say I didn't drink. I always tagged along and had my sparkling water or a diety. It wasn't until a long time later, years in fact, that I realised people think you're weird if you don't partake. I know who's weird and who's not now!!!!

    Recently, at the 60th party I went to in Bathurst people kept saying, "go on, just one it won't hurt", "what never drink? Not even champagne?" I just smiled politely and said "Nope, not even champagne and you all should be thankful!!!! It aint pretty." Admittedly, it was family so very different to a work social. I'm glad I was naive to start with, I would still be at home wondering when it was safe to go out if I'd known then what I know now.

    We would be celebrated if we gave up a "hard core" drug non????

      Hello Undies,
      Back from Yerrinbool. Showered, slept and enjoying the day.
      Bridge, don't know what to advise for your feet.
      Happs,
      Just say you don't drink. Having said that myself, I've sometimes been cajoled with the "oh you MUSt have a drink with us" ," Oh come on, just one etc etc." Don't know why it is people try to insist.


      Hmmm, this place looks familiar. If any of you Undies are thinking of buying it, don't. It will swallow your life savings.

        Maybe there was secret manufacturing happening!!
        Please phone him straight away. I'm intrigued. Could it have been great grandfathers opium den?

            Never soaking them in Listerine again?
            If your 8 year old self met you, would they be proud?

                OK - called the mobile.........update........drum roll................

                It was filled with treasured antiques. They didn't want us to see them, want to see them more, get in there and then break stuff. So, they told us it was too grown up for kids to see so we would forget about it.

                I mentioned I thought it might have been a den on iniquity and he laughed quietly and said "no, sweetie, it wasn't".............

                      I think it went down the gurgler along with the Listerine.

                          Getting to your post about being proud and excited not to drink, I totally agree. And that's been the case for me so far. It's very confusing to suddenly have a person I don't even really know presuming something about me. But as someone close to me pointed out, I now have the chance to present the new me, the me that I'm proud of to the world. And I think that's the way to go. Just quietly too

                          Enough about me, so is it raining anywhere yet?? Feeling like a storm brewing here...

                            Did they have to give them back or could they keep them?

                              Nah - had to give 'em back Bridge.

                              That was the best house I've ever lived in. One Christmas, my brother and I climbed behind the Christmas tree to hide from mum and dad. When we finally emerged to 'startle' them my brother had THE biggest, hairiest huntsman on his back! The place was full of them and we never killed them or put them outside because they were too big and scary to get close to.

                              It's also the house I learned how to iron in. Mum let my practice on her petty coats. I was perplexed about the holes that kept appearing as I ironed. Mum went nuts........

                              And, Donna Bella Wog Dog had a litter of pups under the house, directly behind the back staircase.

                              And x 2 - it was the house I first tried chinese food. I ate curried prawns and rice and spewed for a week.

                              Ah.....memories.

                                Oh, sorry Happs - no rain on the horizon. Very windy and a tad chilly.
